Lockerbie Old School

It’s Christmas Time and Christmas Time in 2025 means one thing and one thing only: PODCASTS!

Please accept this early Christmas stocking of sound which will transport you via Lockerbie High Street all the way back to 1975.

This week the podcast stars Calum Cameron who attended the Old School as a primary and Chris Brown who was there when it was a secondary.

And, while they were there, they threw things.

Naughty boys.
